Hi,
I'm looking to buy a new racket and am having a hard time deciding between the two listed. Perhaps briefly a few sentences about my game level. I am 23 years old, played in my youth for 3 or 4 years in a tennis club, but only training, no tournaments or the like. Now I have started to play again quite regularly for half a year (about once per week, as a hobby). Since I started playing, I play on a Wilson NCourt 100. It is quite light and weighs 265 grams. I would describe myself as an all-round player who likes to play moderate topspin. In general, I would say I am somewhere between a beginner and an intermediate player.
Now to the tested rackets, I know both rackets are quite different in their characteristics, but since I was not quite sure what I wanted I tested them.
I really enjoyed the power of the Burn 100. Unfortunately, I sometimes had the feeling that I lacked control. I even tended to hit the balls too far with the racquet.
I liked the Clash 100 from his control well, especially in direct comparison to the Burn I sometimes lacked the power a bit. What I had thought was that you could maybe improve the power a little by a power string. I played the Alu Power 128 on the Burn and I really liked it, so maybe it would make sense to choose a power string.
Both rackets have pleased me in direct comparison, even if they are quite different. Currently, I'm tending more towards the Clash 100 with a power string, but I am not really into this topic, so I am definitely open to recommendations. Also tending to the normal 100 version and not the Clash Tour/Pro version, since as I said I'm coming from a 265-gram racquet. What would you guys recommend? Which one of the two is also more forgiving? Which of the two would also make more sense in the long run if I would improve my game? What do you think of my string idea?
Thanks in advance!
